'You're not unaware, you just worry they won't have a good life if they come to Konoha, right?' Kazuki mumbled inwardly, but in the end, he didn't voice the thought.
This represented Mito's distrust of Hiruzen and Danzo. If Konoha only had one Kushina, then Kushina would receive the best resources and protection.
However, if there were a large number of Uzumaki, Kushina's importance would diminish, and at the same time, it would be hard to guarantee they wouldn't do something to the Uzumaki.
For example, they might integrate the Uzumaki bloodline into their respective clans. There are some things they wouldn't dare do to the disbanded Senju clan, but they could certainly act against the Uzumaki clan.
After all, the Uzumaki clan isn't truly a part of Konoha. They are like homeless dogs, they were allies in the past, but now the Uzumaki clan has lost their homeland.
"I will study diligently."
Since Mito wanted to continue teaching him Fuinjutsu, Kazuki naturally wouldn't refuse. Perhaps it could even play a role in future battles against the Ōtsutsuki.
"Hmm, there are also some other things I'll advise you on. A Hokage is no ordinary ninja." Mito then hinted meaningfully.
Kazuki's lips curved into a smile as he said, "Yes, I understand. I will study diligently."
"Oh, right, when you have time, also look into those Wood Release users. I've recently discovered some interesting things." Mito seemed to recall something else and said to Kazuki, "You should know about those Wood Release experimental subjects."
"Mm." Kazuki nodded slightly.
"They only use Earth and Water Chakra, they lack the most crucial power."
As Kazuki spoke, a green sprout appeared in his hand. Mito's eyes widened at the sight, revealing an expression of disbelief.
No one understood this power better than Mito. It was Wood Release, and it was Wood Release at least on par with Hashirama, perhaps even more vibrant than Hashirama's Wood Release. This was Kazuki's purest Wood Release.
However, Mito quickly came to terms with it. According to Nine-Tails, Hashirama could use Wood Release because of his status as an Asura Chakra reincarnation.
And Asura's powerful physique and vitality came from the Sage of Six Paths. Kazuki was most likely a Sage of Six Paths Chakra reincarnation. If an Asura Chakra reincarnation could do it, there was no reason a Sage of Six Paths Chakra reincarnation couldn't achieve this step.
Now, Kazuki revealing Wood Release was entirely reasonable. It would be interesting to see if certain people in Konoha would be utterly stunned when Kazuki revealed Wood Release in the future.
Now that Kazuki even had the Rinnegan, it seemed he no longer needed to use the power of Wood Release.
"Those experimental subjects lack Yang Release?" Mito sensed Kazuki's Chakra and then thought of those ninjas, asking somewhat ambiguously.
"Mm, Yang Release is very important for Wood Release to be powerful. However, most ninjas have limited vitality, and without powerful Yang Release, they cannot use Wood Release."
Kazuki thought for a moment and added, "Of course, this is merely my speculation. After all, Wood Release is rare even within the Senju clan, and it's more commonly possessed by Asura Chakra reincarnations. But I cannot guarantee that every Asura Chakra reincarnation could use Wood Release."
The future Naruto relied on Nine-Tails transformation and Rasengan, not Wood Release.
In any case, Kazuki didn't believe that the later Naruto was inferior to Hashirama.
"Is that so?" Mito nodded thoughtfully.
"I'm afraid those experimental subjects will find it very difficult to achieve power comparable to Hashirama."
"However, I recently discovered that Nine-Tails' Chakra can enhance their power. When Nine-Tails' Chakra enters their bodies, their bodies are not corroded by it. Instead, the Wood Release power and the Nine-Tails power complement each other, and Wood Release's power significantly improves with the help of Nine-Tails' Chakra."
"Wood Release and Tailed Beast Chakra?" Kazuki nodded thoughtfully.
The power of Wood Release itself originated from the Ten-Tails. If you really think about it, Yamato could also become a Jinchuriki.
"Before, I planned to make Kushina the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but the current situation seems to make me hesitate again." Mito sighed helplessly.
"I even want you to capture the other Tailed Beasts and bring them all to Konoha. Then, with the cooperation of those Wood Release experimental subjects, even if Konoha cannot produce a powerhouse like you, it will give birth to several war weapons, enough to deter the Ninja World."
"A Jinchuriki who can perfectly utilize Tailed Beast Chakra is much stronger than the Tailed Beast itself."
Kazuki pursed his lips. He did want Kushina to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. With his cooperation, it shouldn't be difficult for Kushina to cooperate with Nine-Tails after becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Of course, the premise is that Kushina can withstand Nine-Tails' Chakra.
Ordinary humans cannot contain the full Nine-Tails' Chakra. It's not about whether Nine-Taile is willing or cooperative, it's that it cannot control the amount of its own Chakra.
"Actually, this is not impossible." Kazuki stroked his chin.
"Since the other villages have declared war on Konoha this time, they will have to pay some price. We can demand a few Tailed Beast as compensation then."
"However, the Tailed Beast were originally distributed by the First Hokage. If we rashly capture the Tailed Beast, there's a risk of breaking the rules set by the First Hokage. Although I don't mind doing these things, many people within Konoha probably wouldn't allow such a thing to happen."
"You don't have to worry about that." Mito said with a chuckle.
"Before I leave, I will hand over some connections to you. I believe that even if they don't support you, they won't obstruct you."
"Hashirama often thinks too simply. How can Ninja World peace be so easily maintained?"
"And how can it be decided by a few Tailed Beast? Not every Tailed Beast is Nine-Tails."
Kazuki fell silent for a moment. If everyone had Nine-Tails' power, before they could truly control the Tailed Beast's power, it might indeed be possible to prevent the outbreak of war.
